As you move into the New Year, things are going to look very much the same as you left them in 2023, though with a sense of change in the air. The first change to take place will also be the one that has the most personal impact with Pluto, the planet of change and revolution not only returning to Aquarius with the Sun on 21st January, but to begin a visit that will keep him here until 2044. Pluto did return to Aquarius in March 2023, but while this gave you a chance to look to the future and any major changes that you might want to make, as he retrograded back out less than three months later, this was more a chance for some window shopping. This saw Pluto return to your sector of subconscious thinking, imagination and review, where he had been since 2008 and is still as you move into the New Year.

However, with Pluto returning to Aquarius on the same day that the Sun returns to begin your birthday month and new solar year, this rather than New Year's Day is the day when the future will open up for you. With Mercury returning to Aquarius from 5th February to 23rd February, Mars from 13th February to 23rd March and Venus from 17th February to 12th March, every planet that will return to your sign this year will be here to get this new chapter off to an empowered start. However, Pluto isn't fully settled in and will retrograde back out again on 2nd September though after over seven months, he will be doing more than just window shopping. This time Pluto will only be gone for 11 weeks and will not only return on 20th November but will stay in Aquarius for the next 20 years.

This will have unexpected consequences, when on 26th May and having done everything he can to promote growth and expansion on the home, family and/or property fronts, Jupiter will leave and return to your romantic and creative sector. This will begin your biggest year for matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative in over a decade, but it will also put Jupiter in harmony with Pluto, who he will form a friendly aspect to as soon as he returns. There will be an overlapping of planetary activity on the home front until Mars leaves on 21st July and with the Sun returning to your romantic and creative sector on 21st May to prepare for Jupiter's return five days later. This makes for a year of two halves for the planet of luck and expansion while returning to support Pluto as you enter a major period for personal growth.
